A tense finale is in prospect in Cape Town, with England needing to bat through the final day to preserve their 1-0 series lead or score 466 for what would be a Test-record victory
After resisting for three quarters of an hour, England lose their first wicket when nightwatchman Jimmy Anderson is brilliantly caught by Ashwell Prince at leg-slip off spinner Paul Harris (pictured)
Anderson decides not to ask for a referral but queries the decision with Tony Hill - TV replays show the umpire made the correct call as the ball flew from bat to Prince via Anderson's boot
Jonathan Trott looks at the space where his off stump used to be after a magnificent delivery from fast bowler Dale Steyn cleans him up for 42
Steyn is elated by his success but Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell prevent further damage as England go into lunch on 179-5
While Collingwood entrenches himself on the crease after lunch and tries to leave anything directed wide of the stumps, Bell is willing to play an occasional expansive drive
Steyn produces a testing mid-afternoon spell and beats Collingwood time and again - but the England batsman hangs on with his customary tenacity
So far, so good for England as Collingwood and Bell bat through the entire afternoon session, adding only 51 runs in 28 overs, to shift some of the pressure onto South Africa who need a win to level the series
As the final session gets under way, home skipper Graeme Smith chats to strike bowler Steyn as South Africa seek a way to break England's sixth wicket partnership
Bell (right) reaches a half century from 134 deliveries - not one of the most attractive fifties of his Test career, but certainly one of the most valuable
With hopes of victory fading, JP Duminy revives South Africa by finally removing Collingwood, who edges the off-spinner's arm ball to slip and departs after four and a half hours of self-denial
Collingwood acknowledges the applause from England supporters as he returns to the dressing room - and is soon followed back there by Matt Prior, who manages only four before becoming Duminy's second victim
Prior is superbly caught one-handed at forward short leg by AB de Villiers (second from right), one of a cordon of close fielders ringing England's batsmen
Stuart Broad is next man in and South Africa think they have got him as well when he plays forward to Duminy and silly point claims a catch - but the referral goes in England's favour
There is no reprieve for Broad moments later, however, as a delivery from Harris bounces and takes the glove on its way into the hands of the alert de Villiers
Bell kicks the ground after edging a rising ball from paceman Morne Morkel to slip on 78, with England just four overs from safety
In a repeat of the first Test at Centurion, number 11 Graham Onions (facing camera) has to cope with the final over and he rises to the challenge again, blocking out paceman Morne Morkel to secure the draw
